Crosswalk, the event cinema division of Bleecker Street, has acquired North American rights, covering the United States and Canada, to the K-pop concert film Twice: This Is For… You. Universal Pictures Content Group has acquired international rights. The deal follows the earlier distribution of a Stray Kids concert film by the same partners this year.
The film captures Twice performing at London’s O2 Arena during the group’s “This Is For” world tour. It combines concert footage with exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the group.

Crosswalk will release the film in the United States and Canada, while Universal Pictures International will distribute it across international territories. The film is set for theatrical release on February 5, 2027.
Helen Parker, executive vice president of Universal Pictures Content Group, said:

Parker added:
“Following the incredible response to ‘Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience,’ we’re delighted to continue our partnership with Crosswalk and Live Nation to bring another world-class K-pop experience to cinemas and give fans around the world the opportunity to experience it together on the big screen.”
